About this ebook
The fuel must move. Or West Texas goes dark.
A refinery under attack. A train loaded with fuel. One chance to keep the resistance alive.
Cal Bridger’s oil field survived the invasion. Now everyone needs what it can produce.
As the new head of the Western Fuel Authority, Cal faces desperate demands from hospitals, power stations, soldiers, and isolated counties. There isn’t enough fuel to go around—and an enemy force is closing on the Big Spring refinery.
The crews have one chance to move the loaded railcars before the facility falls. But getting the train out is only the beginning.
With the main roads in enemy hands and the railways sabotaged, Cal and Tess must piece together a supply network from damaged rail spurs, hidden trucks, and people the invaders overlooked. Every gallon delivered could keep a hospital lit or a defensive line moving.
Kessler is listening. Every order Cal gives risks exposing the network. And the people waiting for fuel are running out of time.
The Last Western Line is Book 2 in A.R. Shaw’s Deep in the Ashes series—a gritty post-apocalyptic thriller about ordinary people keeping West Texas alive, one hard-won delivery at a time.
